AuthorTopic: VL 7.1 (Read 56488 times)

Just installed VLocity B0.12. Seems the partition mount issue has been fixed. Network Manager is still not asking for password when you initially select the wireless connection, nor are the settings saving in resolv.conf.

Just had a thought regarding the installer. I just finished cloning the Linux drive to a larger, faster one. Thought I'd like to create 2 Vlocity installations, but there is no option to mark one from the other during the installation process. One would have to go in and modify the grub files to make that distinction.

True, we will workout more menaingful labels

That would be extremely useful. I just installed a shiny new 750GB drive which is dedicated to Linux. I'm planning on two copies of the VLocity beta. One will stay there so I can play online games, the other will be the testing distribution that can get torn up and replaced whenever there's a new update to be installed. Now I'm going to log out and install Fedora as I've always wanted to check that distro out. And with all this extra space I suddenly have, I don't have to decide what distro stays and which one goes.

Edit -- I'd like to expand on this a bit.

I'm a distro junkie. I like playing around with different distributions and I'm beginning to notice a disturbing trend with the newer installers.

They're made for the noob in mind. And while this isn't a bad thing, it's driving me mad with the lack of advanced options for GRUB installation. I would LOVE to see an advanced option that not only allows me to edit menu items before creation, but also specify the location of the grub files. As it stands, each new distribution writes the GRUB configuration to its own install location, and if I want it changed back to say /dev/sdb1, I then have to log into that distribution and rerun the GRUB configuration and then install GRUB again. That's a friggin' pain in the backside.

Having an installer that provided this type of flexibility is something I crave every time I install or reinstall a new distribution. I think it would be a feather in our cap if we were the first to actually provide it.

I borked the Grub installation (another reason I'd like to be able to specify WHERE the files reside during an installation) and tossed the B0.12 disc in to boot into SOHO 7. Two tries and received a kernel panic each time. Was able to boot with the SOHO disc.

Installed B0.13 this morning. Still having issues with Network Manager. Instead of using VASM to input the router IP, I plugged the IP address into the Additional DNS entry in Network Manager. It seems to be working fine.

Don't know why Network Manager is being such a pain with this. All the other distros I've tried with NM has worked just fine without having to give anything more than the passphrase to connect. Weird.

I'll play around with the installation later today and report back with any findings.

Tried all settings in vxconf. Copied a xorg. conf from a working slack-14 kernel 3.7. Nothing doing in X, mouse and KB not working.

Pita, can you check B0.13 a few of these should be fixed in it.retired1af,those repos are still empty. packages will be populated when we push out B1, and we will start populating the others shortly after that.
